  • If you have a look at the pinnacle website especially the forum for the show center it tells you specifically what divx/xvid options it doesn't support - been a while since i read them. Ohh it should also play Ogg Vorbis files natively if memory serves - Got mine hooked up in the bedroom at the moment using wireless - had it hard wired in the living room before that. If your streaming a lot of high bit rate films across to the box you probably want it hard wired with cat5 the wireless connection can get a bit jumpy at times which can spoil a good film

    Interesting. I could hard wire it but I like the idea of using wireless.

    Sorry, ignore my comments earlier, I must have been thinking about an older showcenter model.

    2+ left in Carlisle store yesterday. Will PM you if I'm going near there again (no plans to at the moment).

    It's heavy though. £10+ for postage

    £99.99 inc VAT though - Not as cheap as PC World if you can find one :-(

    Well, we all know the calibre of your typical Pissyworld ASBO staff....do you want fries with that?

    Even on the current TV adverts, the 'staff' don't even sound like they have the faintest idea what they're on about!!

    Two still in stock in Huddersfield. Looks as if they had just been put out in the newish digital house island display.
